The contemporary classic and best selling model from Line is back again in its 107 mm waisted incarnation. In short, the SFB is an all-mountain ski that brings a little bit of everything that Line does best.
The SFB has the playful carver shape we see in the Sakana with the lilt and lift you get from their convex-tipped powder models. This tied together with Line’s park base makes these skis one of the better rounded options from Line and at large.
While SFBs can do most things well, they have a hard time keeping up with stiff all-mountain skis when you need to navigate chunky snow or debris fields. But that’s a small price to pay considering the freedom they allow on the rest of the mountain- they’re a veritable passport to anywhere else accessed by a lift.
If you can’t make up your mind about which Line ski to choose, the SFB takes good elements from all of them.
Notable Features
Symmetric Flex: The fore and aft sections of the ski have the same flex pattern for a more predictable ride regardless of which end is pointed downhill.
5-Cut: Multiple-radius sidecut allows skiers to more easily make a variety of different turn shapes.
3D Convex Technology: A spoon-shaped tip and tail give the skis a looser, more surfy feel while retaining the ability to dependably hook edges into the snow
